Prisons and Diners

I think I even confused myself trying to explain the difference between the prison experiment and the prisoners dillema .

Speaking of dilemmas.... In what seem like a another era, I actually used to go out for lunch with my coworkers. One of the reasons I stopped was the ever-presence of a particular co-worker who I call Mad Dog. Mad Dog would order the most expensive item on the menu, and proceed to make comments like "what does it matter, we are all going to split the bill evenly anyway."

I didnt know there was a economic term for such prickitude. I give you the diners dilemma.

I dont get unnatural fear of wiki out there. Is free open source based information unamerican ?
